Saving the Earth, Somewhat

Saving the Earth, SomewhatPosted by Hillary Rosner on August 12, 2006 - 5:59am.

Here’s a tip for the week ahead: Take a kid for a walk in the woods, and explain to her why forests are so important. They absorb CO2 and release oxygen. They guard against erosion. They provide food and shelter to zillions of the planet’s creatures. Teach a child about forests, and encourage her to help these ecosystems thrive.

So suggests 365 Ways to Save the Earth (Abrams, 2005), for the day of August 16. This relatively compact coffee-table book, with an introduction by Elizabeth Kolbert, features stunning photos of nature around the world – from Greenland’s glaciers to Kenya’s flamingos to Uganda’s mountains to the deserts of Egypt and the treasures of Australia’s oceans. But the tantalizing pictures, from French photographer Philippe Bourseiller, are just one half of the book – the motivation for the accompanying messages. 365 Ways is a how-to guide, a daily manual for living a more Earth-friendly existence.

The company now uses just three percent recycled paper, but plans to spend millions of dollars to increase that number to 30 percent over the next four years. According to Random House, that will save 550,000 trees each year.
